Where do you get your AUTHCODE?

[JeremyWhittaker]

The instructions say:
You will need your authentication code that comes from Audible's servers. This will be used by ffmpeg to perform the initial audio convert. You can obtain this string from a tool like [audible-activator](https://github.com/inAudible-NG/audible-activator) or like [audible-cli](https://github.com/mkb79/audible-cli).

But I've gone to both of these repositories and did a keyword search for AUTHCODE and cannot find anything.

Please run audible activation-bytes to obtain your auth code!

The aaxc files don't need AUTHCODE? I tried to run it without and got this error:

/content/drive/My Drive/Books/audible_backup/aaxc
ERROR: Invalid File: Buffettology-AAX_22_64.aaxc

Failed to set value '5e136858d8a48a75f24a5c9576d0156b' for option 'audible_key': Option not found

Please use ffmpeg >=4.4 which support decrypting aaxc!
